    Hey y'all so I think I've got my rear suspension figured out. So for sure going with the dakars for leaf pack, all pro u bolt flip with wheelers super bumps @ARCHIVE shackle flip and the ext travel b110's and last but not least ext brake lines. Anyone running this setup or something similar? Also I believe @Downsouth Motorsports does a 10% discount for TW members right?

    What length strap

    This was before I lowered the adjuster...I have lowered it pretty much all the way to the top now

    You can see in this photo that the uniball cup rapes the coil pretty bad. The way I have it now it only hits on the drivers side...not sure why

    Where are you planning on mounting the bottom of the strap, the shock bolt?

    6". Shortest you can get. And use an adjustable cleavis. Used almost all the adjustment on mine, should have put the.miunt higher.

    Id use the shock bolt if you have stock LCAs.

    If you're going to bother do the rear too while you're at it, 18" strap is about right.

    I don't need to strap the rear. The shocks have more droop than the dakars
